Hi friends,
Just wanted to drop a short note to those who'd like to know...I've finally fixed my Omegamatic. I'm so happy.
Well, "fixed" isn't really the right word. I was just able to source out the capacitor needed to keep the power reserve...though it's not OEM, it works just fine!
Probably a dumb/idiotic question to those in the know...but the watch hasn't stopped since the new capacitor was installed (48 hours and running). Isn't it supposed to stop? (since I haven't moved the watch, thus the capacitor can't possibly "absorb" electricity to power the watch?)
Anyhow, I'm extremely pleased about the watch anyhow, I was about to give up but my good ol' watchmaker, he never quit on me.
All you Omegamatic maniacs (the few that I know), if you'd like a less than technical dissertation, please feel free to e-mail, PM or just reply.
My Omegamatic is such a special watch to me: classy, dressy and yet sporty enough (though at 37mm, it's more for office or formal wear these days). A shame they stopped making it! David/Kieron/Eric, thanks for encouraging me to find the solution!
Thanks
